Adam vinatieri hall of fame?

Many people have reservations about putting kickers/punters in the HOF, but Adam vinatieri has been a part of 5 superbowls, won 4, kicking two game winners In superbowls, kicking the game tying and winning FGs in the blizzard conditions against Oakland, been to two pro bowls, etc.. If anyone deserves it it's him. Thoughts?

deserving, yes. getting in? doubt it, at least not until veteran's committee gets him in. kickers and punters just dont get in. Heck, Ray Guy, Morton Anderson and Gary Andersen aren't in yet. Lechler and Andy Lee also deserve it too but they prob wont get a look for decades.

I think he'll definitely get in, but not on the first ballot. If a QB had two game winning drives in the Super Bowl, and another iconic playoff moment on the level of Vinatieri's kicks in the snow against Oakland, he'd be a sure thing, no matter what else he did in his career. On the flip side, he's not the second best kicker of all time, so if they're going to put him in, there are other guys they'd have to add too (namely Morten and Gary Anderson and eventually David Akers) which I don't have a problem with.
